It\u2019s good to see these Serbian Satanists finally get round to unleashing their second full-length studio album. After all, it\u2019s been seven years since 2015 debut platter Under The Holy Command<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Terr\u00f6rhammer sound is still that nihilistic blend of black metal and ripping thrash yet circa Accept, Destruction<\/a> and hyper Mot\u00f6rhead, particularly with speeding opener \u2018At Dawn We Attack\u2019. There\u2019s plenty of melody too which is a nice surprise for anyone who expects to be pummelled to death by one-dimensional war metal. The vocals are snappy, the percussion is a blast to behold and the guitars and bass just frolic in almost playful manner in spite of the intent to slay.<\/p>\n

This album offers up nine furious tracks epitomised by the 80s fire of \u2018Midnight Patrol\u2019 with its juddering bass and mid-tempo angst. Meanwhile, the title track is catchy and hasty and runs into the glorious gallop of \u2018Transylvanian Whore\u2019.<\/p>\n

Terr\u00f6rhammer have no interest in offering intricacy. Instead, you get hammered by a batch of rust-ridden slabs which are happy to worship at the beer cans of Mot\u00f6rhead, as evidenced throughout. But for extra blackened evil then dive into the oily waters of \u2018Tronized Goat Master\u2019 or the flashing brilliance of \u2018Blizzard Of Blood\u2019, the latter featuring a guest solo from former Tormentor and Nifelheim guitarist Tam\u00e1s Buday .<\/p>\n

From its arse to its teeth, down to its feet, Gateways To Hades<\/em> is the sort of hellish tirade you need to get whipped by every now and then to prompt cranial combustion.<\/p>\n
